Welsh soldiers Afghanistan police deaths: Leave Afghans to their own devices

Two more brave Welsh lads murdered by Afghanistan’s corrupt police.

When will it end? I would say never! So why not call time on it and bring the lads home? I’d welcome seeing them help to keep the peace on our streets and in our prisons.

I wouldn’t argue that military police (Redcaps) are other than a wartime phenomenon, but pardon me for asking – if peacekeepers are being killed for their brave efforts, isn’t that being made war, too?

Let the Afghans and Islamic extremists get on with killing eachother and put some common sense back into keeping our citizens safe by utilising a force we can afford to keep, but can’t afford to lose.
